Bonus Wagering Calculator for Casino Bonuses

The calculator works best when you copy the numbers straight from the casino bonus terms. So, open the exact terms for the bonus you want to claim, and just fill in these:

Wagering Type

Wagering type tells the calculator which balance the casino uses for playthrough.

• Bonus Only means wagering applies to the bonus money only.

• Deposit + Bonus means wagering applies to your deposit and the bonus together. This can make the final target much bigger, even when the offer looks fair.

For example, a AU$100 deposit with a AU$100 bonus gives AU$200 total play money. With 30x deposit plus bonus wagering, that becomes AU$6,000 in required bets.

Deposit Amount

The deposit amount is the money you plan to deposit at the casino. If you type AU$100, the calculator uses AU$100 as the starting point.

Deposit Match %

The deposit match is the percentage the casino adds as bonus money.

A 50% match on AU$100 gives AU$50 in bonus money. A 100% match gives AU$100. A 200% match gives AU$200, unless the bonus limit cuts it down.

Bonus Limit

The bonus limit is the most bonus money the casino will give you.

If a bonus says “100% up to AU$200,” the limit is AU$200. The casino will not keep matching your deposit after that point.

So, a AU$100 deposit gives AU$100 bonus money. A AU$500 deposit still gives only AU$200 bonus money.

Wagering Requirement

The wagering requirement is shown as a number like 15x, 30x, 40x, or 50x. It tells you how many times the bonus must be bet.

This is the most important term of every bonus because it decides how much “work” you need to do to be able to withdraw anything you won from the bonus.

A AU$100 bonus with 15x wagering means AU$1,500 in required bets if wagering applies to bonus money only.

That does not mean you need to win AU$1,500. It means you need to place AU$1,500 worth of bets before withdrawal is normally allowed.

We think that anything above 40x is very hard to complete.

Game Contribution %

Game contribution shows how much each bet counts toward wagering.

This applies to the casino game you want to play. If you want to play pokies, and pokies count 100%, a AU$1 spin counts as AU$1 toward the wagering target. If blackjack counts 10%, a AU$1 bet only counts as 10 cents.

That makes a huge difference. A AU$1,500 wagering target is already a lot. If the game contributes only 10%, the real play needed becomes much heavier.

We’ve reviewed thousands of bonuses, and pokies usually count the most (100%), so if it isn’t a game-specific bonus, try to play pokies to clear the wagering.

Game RTP %

RTP means return to player. It shows the long-term average return built into the game.

A 96.5% RTP game is expected to return AU$96.50 for every AU$100 wagered over a very large number of rounds.

That does not tell you what will happen tonight. You could lose fast, win early, or finish nowhere near the estimate.

So, if you already know what pokie you will be playing, find the RTP of that pokie, and insert it in the calculator. The RTP helps the calculator show you how much value may be lost while trying to clear wagering.

Try to play pokies with 97%+ RTP.
